Remember when the Shitgibbon said if there were under 100K

deaths from COVID-19 then they will have done a great job? Well, just heard a doctor on MSNBC say that it will not surprise him if there are a quarter of a million deaths due to the virus by the end of 2020.

Trump has blood on his hands.

We are not going, but I have great fear for those who are. 90 people expected. Drinking, laughing, dancing. Dangerous.

Remember when they said we could get it down to 40k or 80k? Then 100k. Now I think they’re saying the projections were 200k, so no big deal.

I also remember thinking, "He's trying to give himself a mulligan for the first 100,000 deaths." Well, we've blown past that mark and are well on the way to doubling it. Heckuva job, Trumpy.

Early, early on, some dumbass on another message board claimed that there wouldn't be even 500 deaths from Covid-19. I offered to bet him a c-note that he was wrong. Ghosted.

"But we have it on tape. You said 100,000 deaths..."

"Fake news! You are from the failing New York Times. You should be ashamed of yourself."
